Actually Alan Moore dissociated himself from the movie and called the script "imbecilic" and full of plot holes. I love Moore's work and I'm considering to avoid this movie as I did with the White Wolf rip-off that was Underworld.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nope, but they found enough striking similarities to the Cainite/Garou scenario featured in their intellectual property to file a lawsuit against Sony. It got settled out of court, I believe.

How ya doing, buddy?

The Galactic Empire? Oh please ... what's next, Nazi analogies?

I think we can consider two things facts:
1. The difference between a "terrorist" and a "revolutionary/freedom fighter" will always be a matter of perspective.
2. In recent years civil rights and privacy have been weakened in favor of security measures all around the globe.

So if the Wachowski brothers decided to make their adaption remnicent of more recent developements in the so-called free world, it isn't that far fetched at all.

...and it's true that the British Empire sported quite a bit of master-racey arrogance in it's heyday. But comparing either the SW Empire or the Nazis with the Bush administration... it's just not a good basis for a discussion.

@ JazzFlight
You have to take into account that religious fanatics have the luxury of not having to distinguish between uniformed or civilian adversaries. Infidels will be infidels.

How ya doing, buddy?

Of course they can, but their distorted moral code enables them to target either and - as you pointed out - preferably the easier targets (read: civilians). And I guess if someone is willing to blow himself and other people up, he surely had enough of whatever radical ideology he might follow to justify about anything with it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm in the middle of the book right now and ... is it just me or shouldn't this even be an action movie? Sure, there are some explosions, 'couple of fight scenes and a stylish entry by V now and then but so far it's really just there to spice up a dialogue and atmosphere driven story.

My resolve to avoid the movie is fading though, since I heard that Hugo Weaving plays the main character. But if I'm going to watch it, I'll wait until the DVD becomes available. They dub everything in Germany and it just kills the experience...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
